Pictures of fixes that shouldn't have worked but did.
About a third of the way into our ride Wes cracked a rim on my lender bike and it wouldn't hold air anymore. While I laughed at him he proceed to wrap the area in electrical tape, threw on a couple zip ties and somehow we finished the ride...
I rode my skinny bike all the way into January and then was riding it in February with skinny studded tires..... In northern Ontario Canada... Thats just unheard of.
The fat tires have taken a shit kicking this season, lots of exposed, sharp rock that would usually be covered in snow is just...
Few from this winter.

Got a DSD Runt for the Zeb installed this week. Still have to play with pressures a bit but it feels good. Also got a poo brown Chromag trailmaster bolted on.

I'm weird. I tend to ride right foot forward but if the rider in front of me is riding left forward I find I ride left forward too... I guess I'm ambifooterous?

They're okay I guess...
Ripped the Bullit with the 2.6 spikers today and holy shit was it ever good!! Fat tires still have more flotation off trail but these things just killed it on the hard pack.

Since our winter has been kinda lame I threw some 2.6 ice spicers onto a shit wheelset. Cushcore in the rear which was fun lol. Pumped to go for a rip tomorrow!
D
Temps went back into the negatives so whats left of the snow was nicely crustified. Great rip yesterday!

It was a crisp -10 yesterday without the wind chill. Main trails are packed pretty good after 2 good snowfalls but there's still rocks under there lol...

Been lucky enough not to get too much snow this winter but we just got hit with 2 good storms in one week so.... back to boring fat biking it is. Heres a few kinda winter vids, still on the bullit up till last week which is a new record for me...
Eating shit with friends the other night.
We hit our usual trail but my buddy got a flat near the beginning. When we stopped to check it out we realized we were being stalked by a pack of coyotes, they started yipping like crazy and sounded really close to us. Wouldn't usually have been too...
It was -5 today and we finally got a light dusting of snow. The rocks were nice and slippery lol.

Yup, hand guards. I've had bad luck with trees and bushes trying to rip my fingers off as of late. They look terrible but they work as advertised.
Hahahahha, you should have seen the moose poo on one of our best trails this spring! There was a pile every 10 feet! The moose use the trail to...
